Chapter 42: Return to Talonshire
"Transformed into the undead?" The Bishop was shocked, he knew that people who used psychic spells were often called necromancers within the mages, and only knew that they had the ability to resurrect and manipulate the dead, but he did not know that they could transform the living into the undead.

"Yes, Your Excellency. The Silver Hand had found out about this, but they didn't have much energy to investigate because of the orcs. Benny's wording was as tactful as possible.
The bishop nodded, this can't be blamed on the silver hand, the church also knows the news, they don't take it too seriously, they think it's just an accident.
"Is there any evidence of the psychic spells on these grains? Your Holy Light alone is not enough. ”
"Unless someone eats him, Your Excellency. And even if they are eaten, it may not work, they will only exhibit plague symptoms and will not be immediately transformed into undead. Benny sighed, if he had direct evidence, he would have gone to the palace of Lordaeron a long time ago, and he would not have had to make such a big turn.
The bishop frowned, walking back and forth in the room.
"Has the food spread?"
"No, Your Excellency. The militia in Talonshire should have burned them down by now. And they have a strange mark on the outside, which is easy to identify. That should be the cursed sect's code. ”
The bishop nodded, "Things are not yet irreparable. You and I immediately go to the Baron's Palace to inform the Baroness that we need to check the food in the whole city, just in case. ”
"Yes, Your Excellency. Benny gestured to the fat man curled up on the ground. "What is he going to do?"
"Is he related to the Cult of the Damned?" the bishop asked.
Benny shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I shouldn't have one." There was no aura of psychic spells on him. But I think he knows where the food comes from. ”
The bishop nodded slowly: "I really don't feel it, then leave it to the guards of the Baron's Mansion, you follow me to the Baron's Mansion immediately." By the way, do you still have that wheat?"
Benny nodded: "There are a lot of them out there." ”
"Let's go, then. ”
――――
Benny followed the bishop to the Baron's Palace, Benny's memory was not wrong, the Baron was not there, and he went to Lordaeron to meet the king. They were received by Baroness Anna Staly.
The Baron's Mansion is only about three times larger than ordinary houses, there is no luxury as expected, and the decorations are very common. Baroness Anna Stari sat in the drawing-room and watched Benny's hands glow and press on the wheat. The wheat caught fire as if it had been burned, and the baroness's face immediately turned ugly.
"Your Excellency, can you explain to me in detail?"
The bishop explained to her about the Cursed Sect, and the Baroness turned a little pale.
"Are you sure, Your Excellency? It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that this --- is incredible. Looking at His Excellency Bishop, who was sitting next to him, the baron's pale face was filled with disbelief.
The bishop sighed, "But it's happened, ma'am. ”
"What do you suggest?" Rivendell wasn't there, she was a bit of a master.
The bishop nodded, no politeness.
"Immediately inspect all the food in the city, put the whole city under martial law, and send someone to Lordaeron to report the news. It's not just about Stratholme, ma'am. ”
The baroness frowned: "There is no problem in checking the food, but I can't call the shots of martial law in the whole city, except for Rivendell's order, no one can mobilize the garrison on a large scale." ”
The bishop nodded slowly: "Then check the grain first, and immediately send someone to inform the baron to rush back to Stratholme as soon as possible." The bishop pointed to the sacks on the ground: "The grain with the plague has the same mark on it. ”
The Baroness nodded, summoned a man dressed as a guard, and gave a few commands. The guard picked up the sack and ran out.
The bishop stood up suddenly. "Madame, it's time for me to go back. Send someone to inform me of anything. ”
The Baroness hurriedly got up: "I hope you can stay and help me." You know, I don't know anything about it. ”
The Bishop shook his head, "That's all we can do at the moment, I need to go back and contact the Brotherhood of Light and the Silver Hand headquarters." ”
The Baroness nodded helplessly and sent them out of the Baron's Palace.
On the way back to the church, the bishop suddenly asked Benny, "What do you want to ask?"
Benny was stunned, a little unsure how to ask.
The Bishop sighed, "Although I don't know why Eren has been hiding you, you have always been in the Brotherhood of Light's vision. ”
Benny's heart didn't fluctuate much, he actually had this kind of mental preparation for a long time, and the organization of this world was not simple.
The Bishop continued, "It didn't take long for the Brotherhood to know about the Light you triggered in Lordaeron, and that sigil. The bishop pointed to Benny's forehead, "The Brotherhood of Light actually knows something about this mark. ”
Benny wondered to himself, why did he keep letting himself develop? He didn't speak, and the Bishop continued to himself, "The Brotherhood of Light calls this sigil the Seed of Light. It was a blessing to humanity from some mysterious being. ”
The bishop suddenly turned his head and looked at Benny, "You've seen that mysterious existence, right?"
Benny was stunned for a moment, and nodded slowly: "When I first got the response of the holy light, it was like a dream, and in the confusion, I suddenly saw an existence wrapped in a strong holy light, and I couldn't see the specific appearance, and when I woke up, the mark on my forehead was there." ”
The bishop nodded, "As recorded in the Brotherhood of Light, the first time humans felt the Light, it was similar to what you said. ”
Before he knew it, he had walked back to the church, and the bishop took Benny into his room.
"Sit down. ”
Benny sat back in his chair, thinking about what the bishop had told him. Aside from Archbishop Draenei, he didn't think anyone else had been imposed.
He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is there anyone else in the church who has been blessed by ----?"
The bishop nodded, "There is a painting of the Brotherhood of Light, which is said to be the first human to be endowed with the power of the Light. The person on the painting has the same mark on his forehead as you, except that his mark is independent and floats in front of his forehead. ”
Benny's heart moved, and the imprint tattoo on his forehead suddenly glowed so intensely that the bishop had to avoid his gaze.
"Is that what you mean?" Benny gestured to his forehead, where the tattoo had disappeared and a strange mark of pure light floated in front of it.
The bishop stood up and stared at the mark tightly, "It's the mark, it's exactly like the one in the painting!" The bishop looked away and looked at Benny with a strange gaze, looking at Benny a little hairy.
"Ahem. Benny coughed lightly, woke the bishop, and asked, "What is this mark?"
The Bishop sat back in his chair and said slowly, "Because it has been so long, the Brotherhood of Light has only one painting, on which the sigil is called the Seed of Light, a gift from the Light to mankind, which can help humanity fight against all darkness. ”
Benny frowned, "Gone?"
The bishop smiled, "You should know better." ”
Benny shook his head: "When I summon the Holy Light, the Holy Light can easily respond to me, and when it comes to using the Holy Light spell, I am more handy, and I don't know the rest." Benny only concealed the claim of protecting the soul, and the rest was the truth, and Naru did not tell it what the mark meant. There is no description of this in the memories of a previous life.
The bishop's smile deepened: "That's enough, isn't it?"
Benny was stunned and nodded. Well, the mark has helped him a lot. He's a little greedy. However, he still had some questions, which he had never asked his mentor.
"Your Excellency, I would like to know, how to divide the strength of the priests?"
